Clip description
Mr Kolopolis (voiced by Angelo Pannas) devises a plan to evict the squatters in an attempt to protect his daughter from the advances of Johnny Foetus (voiced by Adam Cullen). He approaches the residents about signing his petition asking council to demolish the building, but gets a mixed response.
Curator’s notes
Mr Kolopolis’s doorknocking reveals the different backgrounds and values of people living in the street: Elsie Contry (voiced by Elsie Turnbull) who has lived through the Depression and her land-rights-activist neighbours are sympathetic to the homeless, but the Armstrong-Taylors and the shopkeepers are motivated by economics.
